1/2 Pound New potatoes; washed and thinly sliced  
/2 Pound Maytag Blue Cheese; crumbled  
Tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley leaves  
In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium−high heat. Add the  
onions, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and the cayenne, and cook, stirring,  
until they are wilted and golden, about 4 minutes. Season the meat with the  
remaining 1 teaspoon salt and add to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the beef  
is browned evenly on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and  
cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beef broth, garlic, chili  
powder, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, and beans. Bring to a boil, then  
reduce the heat to medium−low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally,  
until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. Skim off the fat that rises to the  
surface.  
Preheat the fryer to 360 F.  
Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove  
and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, mound the  
potatoes over the bottom of each serving bowl. Ladle the chili over the  
potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Garnish with parsley.
